Yay!

Well done! Though looks like we'll have to follow the C++ implementation
to be really competitive.

Very good. I'm glad someone looked at that, since the old code was
moderately naive (first bytestring effort).

Yeah, we should do something better here. Hmm.

Definitely. I note also we're beating Erlang on the new thread-ring
benchmark too,

Yeah, that's a hard one.
